Spinning off of the Hannah's Hope Mass first offered in 2017 by our own Bishop David Kagan, the Diocese of Bismarck is beginning a support group in mutual support while facing the struggles of infertility. We hope to grow the ministry in the future to include other endeavors. Meeting every second Thursday of the month starting on April 5 either on location in Bismarck or via GoToMeeting online video conferencing, 7:00-8:00 pm. It loosely follows a book study in the realm of faith and life and allows for time spent together with others who struggle with some of the same things as you. Go to bismarckdiocese.com/hope to register to join the group. Contact Christie Collins at ccollins@bismarckdiocese.com or 864-354-5046 with questions.
